Even though this blog looks like my old one, Debbie-Dabble, "Debbie-Dabble Blog" is my new Blog that I created on June 23, 2016, after my old one was hacked through my Debbie-Dabble Face Book Page which I have now deleted!!

I am a Victorian Soul, live in a small townhouse, not a huge Mega Mansion, with my Hubby Joe. I recently went Part Time after working full time night shift as an RN on a Hospital based Rehabilitation( Physical Medicine) Unit for 32 years and have been in nursing for 38 years!

I DABBLE IN A BIT OF THIS AND THAT!!!!

I know how to cook but I would rather do just about anything BUT cook.......

For Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter, I make a very EASY Sausage Filling to serve with Turkey.........

And I mean easy because I just came home after working all night and threw it together and popped it in the oven so I will only have to heat it up tomorrow for Dinner as I am also working tonight ( Thanksgiving Eve, remember Hospitals never close!)

I season with onion salt ( you can add diced onions but the boys do not like them), garlic salt and pepper!

Pour mixture into a pan and YES, I even use a disposable tin foil pan!!

Cover with tin foil and bake in oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes!!

And here it is ready to serve........

I cut it into squares and place it on a nice platter to serve. Pour gravy over or eat just like this!!

The potatobred stuffing and the gravy make it nice and moist.

Another option would be to use turkey sausage and turkey gravy to moisten the stuffing......

EASY PEASY but delicious!!

And may I add that Sam's Club makes a mean apple pie!! We do not care for pumpkin.....

Sausage Filling

3/4 lb. of pork sausage

I package of Bread crumbs ( Martin's
potato Bread Cubes)

3/4 tsp. of pepper

1 teaspoon of salt

1 can of Heinz Pork Gravy

1 cup of chopped celery

Sprinkle with onion and garlic salt

Fry sausage

Combine all ingredients in large bowl

Make sure bread crumbs are moistened by
gravy

Pour into baking dish, cover with tin
foil, use second rack

Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 degrees
preheated oven

ENJOY!!!

Just the 5 of us will be enjoying Thanksgiving Dinner together around 4:00 pm so I can sleep a bit in the morning after working the night before and so Jim and Danielle can get a bit of sleep before they go in to work at Target for 10:00 pm on Thanksgiving Night.........

I have worked either the Eve or the Day of every Thanksgiving for the past 37 years so working on a Holiday is no big deal for my family....We just work around it!!

I am off on Thursday and Friday nights though.......

I hope you get to spend Thanksgiving with those you love!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

And I hope you will come by and visit again!!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!

This is a Brand New Party so please stop by and link up to this lovely party!!

I was driving home one day from work and I saw this table on the side of one of the dumpsters in our development........

When I got home and thought about it, I thought it would be perfect in a little space that I had been planning.......

So I sent Joe back down the hill to scoop it up!!!

It was a little rough around the edges or should I say, the top of it!!

I scraped the peeling veneer off of it......

Joe sanded it down......

Yes, this all happened in the Summer......

I think it was part of a dresser at one time....

Joe applied wood filler to the top......

Sanding it down again.......

Then it was ready to paint......

Please excuse the dark photos but it was a rainy day when I painted it in the Den......

First I applied a coat of Kilz to the table.......

I plan on painting my Bedroom furniture in the Spring and I am still undecided as to how and what colors I will use , so I decided that , for now, I would throw a coat of Antique White paint that I already had on it......

And until I can decide what knobs to use on the drawers, I used these that I had in my stash......

It doesn't look that bad now does it????

In the Summer, when re-arranging rooms, I decided to get rid of a larger table that I had in the corner of our bedroom.....

Since I am now part time, I want to be able to enjoy a hobby that I had many years ago...

READING!!

I wanted to create a little Reading Corner for myself in the Master Bedroom and I needed a table to fit in next to this chair by the window........

This table fit perfectly!!

I am going to share more about my little Reading Corner in a post next week so for now, I just want to show you the table.......

You can see part of the dresser in this photo and how my Dad painted my Mother's bedroom furniture that was bought for her when she was 16 years old, by her parent's which was 80 years ago.

As I mentioned before, I plan on painting it in the Spring......

Back to the table.....

I think I may leave it antique white and paint the rest of the bedroom furniture the same.......

I am really glad that I sent Joe back down the hill to grab this table that was standing next to one of the dumpsters in our development!!

As I mentioned before, I will share more on this Reading Corner here on my Regular Blog next week........

I hope to post once a week or once every 2 weeks here on my regular blog during the Holiday Season.

Soon I will be starting my Christmas Home Tour over on my Christmas Blog, with this Tree ......

And another one in the Master Bedroom..........

So I hope you will stop by and visit both my Blogs again!!

I want to wish my sister, Barb, a very Happy Birthday! Barb was born on
my Dad's birthday, who would have been 96 years old today! He always
said that Barb was the best gift he ever received on his Birthday! Even
though he passed away 28 years ago, not a day goes by that do not think
of him. Happy Birthday, Barb and to Dad, up in heaven!!

Thanks to those who took the time out of their busy day to spend a little bit of time with me!!
